Container

Bottle with cap

The container () includes a body portion (), an upper end portion (), and a cap portion (). The body portion, the end portion and the cap portion may be molded as one piece. The cap portion () may be attached to the body portion with a hinge (). The body portion may have a side wall which allows the user to squeeze the side wall and dispense the product which is stored within the container (). The container may include a valve. The valve may include an opening which allows the contents to be dispensed. The valve may be attached using a retention feature, a retaining ring, an adhesive and/or fusion. The retaining ring may engage the retention feature. After the valve is assembled to the container (), the container is filled with a product and the lower end portion may be closed by using a heat seal.

Bottle and cap

Methods and apparatus for molding a vessel, such as a bottle, with a high quality sealing surface are described herein. In one embodiment, a stepped blow pin can be used to form the sealing surface of a bottle. A stepped blow pin can include a body with a distal end and a proximal end. The blow pin can include a first region that includes a first diameter and a first engagement surface. The blow pin can further include a second region that includes a second diameter. The second region can be positioned between the first region and the distal end. A transition section can be positioned between the first region and second region. The blow pin can also include a top surface position at the proximal end, and a bottom surface positioned at the distal end.
